(State of Siege)
A novel by

 
 
Set in Southeast Asia, STATE OF SIEGE covers 24 critical hours in a military coup d'etat. Fraser, an oil technician on leave and caught up in this explosive whirlwind, tries to extricate himself and pursue his pleasure--namely an Eurasian beauty. But he is hopelessly entangled in the conspiracy and the final outbreak of violence which ends the day.

Our reader finds STATE OF SIEGE "an exciting tale of revolution in a small Southeast Asian country, riddled with plot, counter-plot and treachery. As always Eric Ambler creates characters we can really care about and sets them in vividly described situations. The exotic locale is superbly drawn."
